• Primavera line-up announced - Radiohead, PJ Harvey, Dinosaur Jr, Shellac, Brian Wilson doing Pet Sounds, Drive Like Jehu, Tortoise, Venom, Mbongwana Star, Mudhoney etcetc. All in the Barca sunshine.

    Eat that, Glastonbury.

  • ^ Except it's not in the sunshine is it? It's in a concrete lorry park by the docks from 10pm to 7am every night with only endless platic cups of Heineken and a shocking lack of drugs to see you through.

    We went a couple of years ago. Amazing lineup and some great sets but hardly balmy beachside bliss. Days in Barca were amazing and the setup is pretty cool but it was cold and blustery and I did a lot of pre-dawn staggering and swaying desperately trying to keep my eyes open waiting in the cold and dark for The Animal Collective to finally start their set at 5am.

    It's an odd one. Not sure I'd go again.
